I am so thankful I was referred to Steffanie. She cared about my situation and worked hard for me to have the best resolution possible. I have already given her name to some of my friends!

I went to Angie for adoption. With the process we also had to file for abandonment on my daughters bio-dad so my husband could adopt my daughter.
I first went to a different law firm. When things kept getting messed up and months dragging on with the other firm. I made the BEST choice to fire that attorney and HIRE this amazing women! Within 2 months of hiring her, things were filed correctly with the courts. Hearings were set and kept. Things were done very professionally! My husband and I felt very comfortable having Angie as our attorney. We got the adoption approved December 3rd 2018. Finalized December 10th! It’s been a blessing since.

I would recommend everyone and anyone to hire Angie for any family matter.

Thank you, Angie.

This review is specific to Steffanie Kotik. Ms. Kotik is very kind. However, I would recommend seeking a different attorney for child custody cases. As you can see from the photos her accounting practices are way off. She'll send you monthly invoices saying you have X amount of dollars left of your retainer. Then when you terminate her services she will send you a case report that basically doubles the time and fees for everything from the beginning of services and adds things that were not even on the original invoices. She deceives you in thinking you have more money left and when you confront her accounting practices she states the invoices were never accurate. She just wanted you to believe you had money left. Also, she will have you sign affidavits before they are done and not even show them to you before they go to the judge. You can see our email exchange where she finally sent me the affidavit 13 minutes before the hearing and it contained inaccurate information. She also stated she had filed an amended motion that was very important to my case and never actually did until about 6 weeks later. She will charge you for email exchanges but then when having a conversation with you be surprised by what you are telling her even though you've included the information in previous emails. This was a child custody case. Nothing is more important to me than my children. Because of so many missteps along the way I had to seek another attorney and pay for everything again. I strongly recommend seeking someone else who will do things right the first time.

I have been through several guardianship cases with Ms Kotik and can say that she has my utmost respect. She is a compassionate attorney and actually cares about the folks she represents. She does so much for so many, and while at times may be spread a bit thin, she has always come through when she was needed. Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do.

I’ve worked with both Steffanie and Angela on different cases. They are both very professional and helpful. Steffanie was great at directing us to additonal help we needed concerning our foster daughters case and Angela was great at keeping my mind at ease as we worked through our case she was representing us and has answered questions and provided documentation long after the case was finalized. I would and have recommended them to friends and will use them again in the future with any other needs we may have arise.

Big NO NO NO. Definetily would not recommend. Never seen or heard that a lawyer can sit in the court and say no freaking single word to protect her client when alot where promised before. That’s what happened to my family. What people pay you for?!!!

We are so grateful to Steffanie Kotik and her office in the adoption of our children! She was quick to get paperwork started for us and made it easy for us to get things signed. On a few occasions she patiently explained what the wording in the documents meant and answered all questions we had. She was organized and supportive as this was a time of excitement but also stress for us! We will be recommending her firm to others in the future!

Thank You! Thank you! For helping me fight for adoption through foster care. The case was going nowhere. Stef did such an Excellent job when she represented us....the other Legal team on the case for 2 years asked me about her. These kiddos now have a loving, forever home. I am truly grateful for all that you did for us.

I am a single mother of 4 young children. Stephanie Kotik was appointed to me thru juvenile court to represent me. She did an awesome job. Stephanie was always available to me, very informative of the procedures, supportive, and willing to go the extra mile to help me fight for my children as much as I fought for them. Thanks Stephanie u r an awesome attorney!!!!!!!!!!

Meeting with Stephanie was great! She was professional out of the gate. Her care and effort to examine paperwork presented to her and in such short fashion was stunning. After reading about my case and with no communication while doing so, allowed her to understand and able to follow our proceeding conversation and comprehend fully. She made me instantly appreciate her as an attorney that truly cares about a cause. I intend on doing further work together and having her on our side! And for once! For once! An attorney that cared zero (0) about money ($) and discussed none, as we had a child and fathers present/future to spend our hours attention towards. I left with comfort in the most unsettling and uncomfortable time in my life.

We had Steffanie help us with an abandonment and adoption case. We were so thankful to have found her! We had a lot of anxiety about the whole process and she made everything easy and stress free. She is very professional, caring, and responsive. Steffanie was empathetic on how important this was to our family, and did everything she could to get it done for us in a timely manner, while letting us know what was going on the entire time. I would highly recommend Steffanie!

This law firm is hands down a very professional, caring and friendly place! Stephanie has gone out of her way to ensure that things have been done in a timely manner and has always been informative of what was happening with the case. She has always returned calls in a timely manner and answers questions in a way that doesn't leave you unsure. She is genuinely caring, understanding and empathetic to situations. I would absolutely recommend this law firm!

Steffanie did our divorce. She was very helpful, explained everything fairly and did what was right for our children. She has helped answer questions after our divorce and has explained things for me.

Steffanie Kotik remains helpful and professional in assisting me with all my needs. I would recommend her to any family or friends in need just as she was recommended to me personally.

I used Steffanie’s services to set up a trust for my aging mother’s house. I asked a ton of questions and even missed a few things when proofreading (my errors on some of the original information provided), which resulted in numerous revisions to the document. Nonetheless, my final bill still came in less than what was originally estimated (a nice surprise). I would highly recommend the services of this firm, and if her partner is anything like Steffanie you really feel like they are looking out for your best interest. I am also aware (due to being the legal guardian of a vulnerable individual) that she has done work in the past with people who have disabilities, providing her services at little to to no cost to them. Steffanie would be my first choice for an attorney in Nebraska.

Do NOT use Stephanie! She screwed my friend out of money on a "FLAT RATE" case. Stephanie is lazy and did not do everything she was supposed to do to complete the adoption process so 2.5 months later they are STILL waiting on the birth certificate from the adoption and are having to pay to get it expedited so they can go on vacation. The biological dad also was did dirty when she never submitted the paperwork to the courts to have child support stopped! He JUST got child support stopped MONTHS after the adoption was finalized. He had to physically go in there and request the paperwork from her and he stated she was very unwelcoming and rude. Stephanie is being reported to the bar association. As a paralegal I did seek legal advise from my boss before posting this review. You cannot legally and ethically add on extra fees when you quote a flat rate fee. These people paid $1600 and have the check to prove it. I see from reviews below that you have done this to other clients as well. Attached is the picture she posted of the final invoice Stephanie sent out (and included a $13 check!). Go somewhere else and save yourself the hassle. Stephanie only cares about her reviews. Who calls and blows people's phones up at 8 am on a work day over and over because of a review someone left? Stephanie did! I tried to warn her not to use this office because of their reputation but she was lied to from the beginning and now Stephanie is trying to rip them off $100 and does not take responsibility for any of it. Have a look at the invoice. She owes them $100 from their "trust fund" but thinks a $13 check is worth it. She told my friend's husband she'd give them the $100 then sent an email changing her mind and only focused on the review Ashley left. Unprofessional and Unethical!

My review of Kotik & mcclure attorneys at law is strictly based our experience w/ Steffanie Kotik. I would not recommend her as a lawyer to anyone. It has taken years and years to basically get nowhere on a situation she said would be handled in a couple months, and before we went thru the retainer. She constantly says she WILL do things toward the case, and does NOT. I deeply regret doing business w/ her.
